This is Ilya Honcharov. He was only 14 years old. Russia killed him in Vyshhorod, Kyiv Region on September 30 🕯💔

​Ilya’s family had moved to the Kyiv region from Sumy to escape relentless bombings, only for a Russian missile to strike the building where they lived.

Russia occupies Oleshky. Around 2,000 civilians remain and run out of food, medicine, water and electricity. Russia, as the occupying power, is responsible for facilitating humanitarian relief.

Ukraine found another way in: its forces delivered ~4 tons of food by drone to 100 locations across town.

Even with safeish picks, LeBron's parlay was a bust. So if you tailed him, you've now lost your money and you're mad at LeBron.

When celebrities sell us shoes or Sprite the worst thing that can happen is we buy shoes or Sprite but LeBron James is now selling the Bankruptcy Machine

Zelensky confirmed that the SBU hit six aircraft at an airfield in Rostov.

Nevzorov's Telegram post identified the aircraft as one An-12, two An-26s and three helicopters; the claim was not independently verified. 1/3

Ballistics are flying almost nonstop lately.

There were ballistic missiles tonight.
I woke up and couldn’t sleep anymore.

And now - in the middle of the day -
They’re flying toward Kyiv and the region again.

I’m sitting in our hallway.
That’s all we can do.

OTD in 2019 Russia, for some unexplained reason,withdrew from article 90 of protocol 1 of Geneva Conventions. The part that allows fact finding into serious violations.

We see them as the Geneva suggestions.

When the banks needed help, they called it “stabilizing the economy.”
When airlines needed help, they called it “protecting jobs.”
When corporations got tax breaks, they called it “pro-growth.”
When working people need health care? “SOCIALISM.”

Today, in violations of the rule of law that would be sufficient for impeachment in any other American presidency but aren't in this one because pathological partisan loyalty has rotted the constitutional order:
NEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024.

The claim “RFK Jr. does not fuck chickens” is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that RFK Jr. fucks chickens.
